| Reversing absolute phase Lewm, I agree under the present circumstances. | |
| The best speaker you ever heard? I may have finally heard a good speaker at the Rocky Mountain Audio Fest, but only after the driving electronics had been on for two days. The speaker boxes for it are still a work in progress, but already its strengths are evident. Also already e... | |
| Reversing absolute phase Eldartford, given that hardly any manufacturer provides a way of inverting the signal, I hardly worry about polarity, but I know from much experience that one direction typically sounds better. Presently I lack any capability to change either digi... | |
| Reversing absolute phase Dopogue, I have no idea why you would say that inverted and uninverted polarities are identical. On many recordings that just is not true. If by saying that "most speakers are not polarity-coherent" you mean that one driver is inverted, I would sa... | |
| Reversing absolute phase Miswiring is hardly an excuse. Since one polarity is often superior, it is too bad that this issue is ignored. | |
| Best rack for non-suspension turntable? Yes, it was some time ago under my Esoteric X-01LE. I did not try either at that time under my turntable or amp. | |
| ERS Cloth uses Dazzdax, that is certainly my experience. | |
| Reversing absolute phase Just because recording engineers are too lazy to bother with absolute polarity does not mean that having it does not sound better. You are correct that in many multi-miked recordings, some mikes may be out of polarity and others not. I would sugge... | |
| Best rack for non-suspension turntable? Audiavreseller, it is the Halcyonics that is active and far superior to the Minus K. I own two and wish I could afford more. | |
| What is new with the Memory Player? If the shootout happened, it was not widely publicized. | |
| How many have heard the Beveridge Electrostatics? Dazzdax, I came very close to buying Beveridges 20 somewhat years ago for the reasons you mention as their strong points, but again their lack of dynamics put me off. | |
| bass affected by stand filler level? Audiavreseller, sounds good in theory, but all floors do resonate. If you live on a concrete slab as is typical construction here, your speakers will be shaken by the trains going by. Mainly I find that concentrating the speakers mass on a fine po... | |
| What is new with the Memory Player? Tedmbrady, yes in the Lotus room, but the electronics was not broken in until Sunday. It is a shame that none of the demonstrators can ever use equipment that is broken in. I just don't understand how anyone can be impressed with anything on the f... | |
| Best rack for non-suspension turntable? Audiavreseller, I don't think the Minus K is a active isolator as it doesn't use electricity. I think it too is just springs done in an innovative manner. The Audiav clearly is just a rack. The only active isolator is the Halcyonics which I will a... | |
| How many have heard the Beveridge Electrostatics? Unfortunately, Cathode, I fully agree. I also thought they were like the originals in being devoid of dynamics. |
